Value For Money

No matter who you are, how much experience you have and what your portfolio looks like . your clients are probably still undervaluing your work.

The reason for this is simple: your clients know nothing about design. All they know is that they need someone to do their logo / website / app, and they heard that people over at Fiverr will get it done for $5.

By the time you finish reading this book, both your workflow and your mindset will be transformed. No more guesswork when pricing your projects, no more trying to argue with your clients over every penny.
